~Starting Out~

How  peoples priorities differ  ~Is amazing~   Years  ago  ~ and i am going back fourty nine years ago  ~ when our first child was born  ~ we didnt have much  ~ of anything  ~ but we had  everything   that was important to us  ~ We had each other   and still  do  ~ *S*~ Had our health and a brand new baby  ~   My husband had a job and a regular pay cheque  ~ Of course he started out making over a dollar an hour ~in those days  ~ Yes  you wonder how we managed to live  ~ Well of couurse ~anyone from that era  would absolutely understand and relate to me  ~*S*

 We rented a place to live and always had lots of food to eat  ~ We never went hungry   ~And always had the neccessities~of life  ~  In those days   we never  bought new furniture  or an big car~ We drove a volkswagen  ~ in which we always took our children for a summer holiday ~  somewhere  ~  and went camping  with a tent  ~ Enjoyed every moment of happiness ~with whatever we did together~

 When  my husband worked ~ and time went on ~we `  somehow accumulated  three more  children ** *S*  My feelings of accomplishment were  ~washing diapers and hanging them on the line to dry and then folding them up perfectly uniform~

Then cleaning the house and  polishing the floor  made me feel so happy  ~ the children even helped me clean  or thought they did   *S*~ then we would go out for  a walk  ~  Baking bread was also such  a joy  ~ The smell of bread baking     ~ was just the most homey smell almost medicinal~We never wanted for anything  ~ There  werent any electronic gadgets   or cell pnones around  and it wasnt inconvienient  in any way what so ever ~ But these days    ~ Its  *GOTTA HAVE WORLD~Starting out~ was truly the best time in our lives~
